These 11 Public Pools Are The Perfect Place To Cool Down In Arizona This Summer

I don’t know about you but the heatwave we had over the weekend sure made me wish I had a pool! If you’re looking for some water splashing action but without the cost of an expensive water park, you might want to try out a public pool. These days, public pools aren’t just a spot to swim a few laps. Many these days have slides, sprinklers, and other fun additions to make a trip to the pool a real experience. Check out a few of the cool pools in Arizona:

When the summer sun is too intense to even enjoy an afternoon dip in the pool, you might want to try out this indoor wave pool at the Kiwanis Recreation Center. The 3-foot waves are perfect for tubing, wading, and swimming, especially after sliding down the 16-foot waterslide.

Featuring a 144-foot water slide, this pool is located in Silverlake Park. In addition to a fun area for sliding and wading, there is also a “beach entry” and a splash pad for the kids not quite ready to dip their toes into the water.
